Christmas party
Tonight we attended the Christmas party for the Filipino Association of Newfoundland. This was our first time attending and we had a great time. It was our first time trying pancit, pork adobo and lumpia. It was all really good and I'll have to try making it all at home sometime. We met lots of Filipino people and children. We were also lucky to meet the only other couple from Newfoundland, that I am aware of, who have adopted from the Philippines. Their boys are 12 and 8 so they're a little older than Rafael but it is still so nice to have that connection. There were several childrens games and we're looking forward to next Christmas when Rafael can take part!!!

I'm so happy you had this experience first hand!!! It'll come in handy when you go to pick up Rafael!!! Filipinos are notorious for not allowing you to say NO to an invitation to eat!!! :-) And pancit, adobo, and lumpia are tried and true classics!!! Can't go wrong with those!!!!!
That sounds great! I'm so glad you were able to go. We love those foods. I've made pancit and lumpia before..I'll send you the recipes I used. :-)
Sounds like fun...and, can I just say, YUM, YUM, YUM. My mouth is watering. I miss authentic Filipino food. I've got a great pancit and adobo recipe too if you're interested!
It sounds like you had a great time, and were able to meet another couple who adopted from the Philippines. The food is yummy isn't it?!
I love pancit, adobo and lumpia...ladies would you mind sharing your recipes?
Krista and Wendy, I would love any Filipino recipes that you are willing to share. Thanks alot!!!
So much to look forward to! I'm glad you have that experience and that group of people. The Filipino community is so supportive, warm, and loving. Sounds like you had a great time!
How awesome that you can do this. We have a huge Filipino community in our county, but few are here due to adoption. I think we're going to have to drive to Toronto for that sort of thing. We make pancit quite regularly. I don't know how authentic ours is, but we all love it. Lumpia too. Yum!
Blessings!
